<A NAME="CCJDHAII"></A><h1>Maintaining database profiles</h1>
<A NAME="TI1696"></A><p>You can easily edit or delete an existing database profile
in PowerBuilder.</p>
<A NAME="TI1697"></A><p>You can edit a database profile to change one or more of its
connection parameters. You can delete a database profile when you
no longer need to access its data. You can also change a profile
using either the Database Profiles dialog box or the Database painter. </p>
<A NAME="TI1698"></A><h4>What happens</h4>
<A NAME="TI1699"></A><p>When you edit or delete a database profile, PowerBuilder either
updates the database profile entry in the registry or removes it.</p>
<p><img src="images/note.gif" width=17 height=17 border=0 align="bottom" alt="Note"> <span class=shaded>Deleting a profile for an ODBC data source</span> <A NAME="TI1700"></A>If you delete a database profile that connects to an ODBC
data source, PowerBuilder does <i>not</i> delete the
corresponding data source definition from the ODBC initialization
file. This lets you re-create the database profile later if necessary
without having to redefine the data source.</p>
